The Inner Work can help you understand, address, and heal any and all human issues you may find yourself struggling with. In the case of stubborness or pridefulness, we are actually overcompensating for a deeper insecurity and vulnerability that we refuse to acknowledge. The most common insecurity is that we don’t know everything, which the insecure human ego can’t handle. So to protect itself it acts like it knows everything and is always right. This is actually just a grand overcompensation for the insecurity getting masked. The psyche thinks by deluding itself to know everything maybe that will keep us safe. However it actually does the opposite because it sets us up for a fall. Inevtiably we will be wrong. The reason it sets us up is because we aren’t humble enough to be open minded. When we are close-minded we have blindspots. Thus its a recipe for a fall. Instead, what we need to do to have true self-esteem and confidence is to be able to be humble, accountable, accept our imperfections and vulnerabilties AND also still move forward anyway. True confidence is actually relaxed, calm, and flexible because it is able to recover from any setback it may face. Pride and stubbornness are arrogant and think they will never have a setback - which is completely unrealistic. This is why pride tends to be in extremes, either I am always right and superior, or when our vulnerability gets revealed we swing into shame and rejection and think I’m worhtless. Pride has no grace so whatsoever and is actually fragile.
